The longest days of the summer just a little dim to nature's clock around 1.00am and the annual Midnight Golf competition at Reiss Links. A very special Golfing House Party hosted by former Ryder Cup Golfer Ronan Rafferty & Scott Cranfield, coach to the professionals - golfers don't miss it. Wild Salmon and grilse from the local rivers making an appearance, fresh Strawberries from Halkirk and the first new potatoes & carrots from the garden is a sure sign of summer.

July

Warm summer days and the endless caress of the waves. Highland Games in full swing throughout Caithness. Crowning of the Wick's Herring Queen and fireworks to mark the occasion. Mr McNulty plies the waters of Sinclair Bay, fresh lobsters and crabs aplenty from Johnnie's creels. Lupines, hollyhocks, lilies and sweetpeas to name but a few of the glories in the garden.

August

A glorious month for sporting guns and discovering the treasures that abound. The August House Party guests will take on the locals at the Mey Games, any trophies for the Ackergill Tower hopefuls? The local estates and coastline are rich with produce whisked to the Tower kitchen. Katrona's finished the Christmas puddings and we all wait in anticipation of the delights in store.
